Tigertail and Our Parent's Stories
01:05:25 Share

For our 2nd gathering of the Good Pop Culture Club, we discuss Alan Yang's new film Tigertail now available on Netflix. Tzi Ma stars as Grover, an immigrant from Taiwan loosely based on Alan's real father. It's a story about the immigrant struggle, regret, lonliness, and a reminder that our parents had real lives before having us.

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR

"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting.
